Wanted to love this game, but just couldn't get into it. Played for 2-3 hours, but nothing made me want to come back to it.
Has this game been patched for better performance?

Same price at Game Stop according to Deku. Apparently hit $17.99 Digital last month but I missed it. I think my buy price is probably $14.99 Digital so maybe BF for me.

Picked one up in store at GameStop. Thanks! Think they might have FINALLY stopped the BS where they open their "new" games. Last couple new games I got there were sealed.

I can't say for sure what the frame rate or resolution was, but I played through on the switch maybe 9 months ago, plus the DLCs. Most of my playtime was while docked and I don't recall ever noticing the framerate or resolution.

In contrast, I found the graphics in Wolfenstein Youngblood to be a major deterrent for the game, with varying performance even making me feel nauseous in areas with a lot of enemies. I say that to establish a baseline showing that I am not just totally oblivious to graphics shortcomings.

A Hat in Time has an older graphics feel. You'll notice polygons. The graphics are closer to the norm for early xbox360/ps3 titles than those of current gen. It took me some time to get past that and enjoy the game for what it is: an adventure with excellent controls, some clever humor, and wholesome feel-good storylines and characters. In retrospect, I think the introductory area, baddies, and antagonist were not the best choice to really capture a player's attention, particularly a player with no idea what type of game they're getting into. I started to get really hooked on the 2nd or 3rd world.

This reddit thread from April of this year suggests that performance is still mixed: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nintendo...ues_fixed/
